The Story in 60 Seconds

Dunking with Wolves analyst Kenny Kluska argues that Rudy Gobert's recent two-game offensive resurgence does not erase broader offensive concerns for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although the 34-year-old center shot 8-for-9 across contests against the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz, Kluska contends that a two-game sample is insufficient to prove his offensive struggles have been resolved.

The writer highlights persistent worries over Gobert's finishing, dropped passes, and ongoing free-throw difficulties, noting he has converted just 41.5 percent of his free throws through 10 games. Kluska warns these issues could allow playoff opponents to intentionally foul him and stifle Minnesota's offense.
